Question

the value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at ...?

Answer 1

Acceleration due to gravity 'g' decreases with increase in depth below the surface of the earth. 8) The value of 'g' is maximum at the poles. 9)The value of 'g' is least at the equator. 10) It becomes zero at the centre of the earth. we

Answer 2

COMPLETE QUESTION:-

The value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at,

A.) At the centre of the earth

B.) At the surface of the earth

C.) At a height of 50 km from the earth’s surface

D.) At a height of 12 km from the earth’s surface

ANSWER:-

• B.) At the surface of the earth is the correct option

EXPLANATION:-

• The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration obtained by a body in a vacuum while it is free-falling or falling under gravity independently.
• This acceleration results in the gravitational attraction of the planet and the core.
• The acceleration due to gravity relies on the mass of the planet where the object is fallen and the distance between the plane and the object. It is indicated by ‘g’.
• The value of g drops as we go to a depth from the surface of the earth. Thus the maximum value of g is at the surface of the earth.
• The value of acceleration due to gravity at the centre of the earth becomes zero.
• The object is asserted to be at infinity if acceleration due to gravity on the object above the surface of the earth becomes zero.

Hence, the answer is B.) At the surface of the earth
